Adrafinil and Adagrasib

These two interact in 2 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 2 Interactions?

Adrafinil interacts with whole categories of medication. Adagrasib falls into 2 of those categories, so it can interact with Adrafinil in 2 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Moderate).

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) INHIBITORS

1 of 2

Why this applies to Adagrasib

Adagrasib falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) INHIBITORS — the group Adrafinil interacts with.

Theoretically, drugs that inhibit CYP3A4 might increase the levels and clinical effects of adrafinil.
Adrafinil is a precursor to the stimulant prescription drug modafinil. Modafinil is metabolized by CYP3A4.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist for this combo. Adagrasib (Krazati) blocks an enzyme in your liver called CYP3A4. That same enzyme is what breaks down modafinil, the active stimulant your body makes after taking adrafinil. So if you take adrafinil while on Adagrasib, the modafinil may hang around longer and hit harder than expected.

In plain terms, you could feel more stimulant-like effects: trouble sleeping, jitteriness, a racing heart, headache, or anxiety. This concern is theoretical, based on how the drugs are processed rather than real-world reports, so it's not a sound-the-alarm situation. Still, adrafinil is unregulated and rough on the liver. Please check with your pharmacist or oncologist before pairing it with Adagrasib.

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

2 of 2

Adagrasib also falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES.

Theoretically, adrafanil might reduce levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
Adrafinil is a precursor to the stimulant prescription drug modafinil. Modafinil has been shown to weakly induce CYP3A4 activity.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist for Adagrasib (Krazati), your cancer-fighting pill. Once adrafinil reaches your liver, it turns into modafinil, and modafinil can gently speed up a liver enzyme called CYP3A4. That same enzyme helps break down Adagrasib. So in theory, pairing the two could clear Adagrasib out of your body a little faster, which might leave you with lower drug levels and a weaker effect against the cancer. With a targeted therapy like this, you really want steady, reliable levels.

I'll be honest: this is a theoretical concern based on how the drugs work, not something proven in studies, and modafinil is only a weak inducer. Still, please don't combine them without first checking with your oncologist or pharmacist.

Major

Clinically significant. Avoid the combination, or use only under close professional supervision.

Moderate

Usually worth avoiding or managing — may need monitoring, a dose change, or timing apart.

Minor

Generally not serious. Be aware of it and mention it to your pharmacist.

Likelihood how strong the evidence is that the interaction actually happens in people
  • LikelyWell-controlled human studies have demonstrated the likely existence of this interaction.
  • ProbableInteraction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports.
  • PossibleInteraction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.
  • UnlikelyInteraction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans.
Evidence the quality of the studies behind the rating (graded A–D)
  • AHigh-quality meta-analysis (quantitative systematic review).
  • BCase-control study.
  • CConsensus.

Adrafinil is a synthetic compound that the body converts into modafinil, a prescription wakefulness-promoting drug.

About Adagrasib

What Is Adagrasib Used For?

Brand name: Krazati

Krazati (adagrasib) is used to treat adults with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that carries a specific genetic change called a KRAS G12C mutation. It is used as a single agent for NSCLC after at least one prior treatment, and patients must be confirmed to have this mutation by an FDA-approved test.

Krazati is also used in combination with another drug called cetuximab to treat adults with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) who have already been treated with specific prior chemotherapy regimens. Both uses were approved under the FDA's accelerated approval program based on tumor response data, and continued approval may depend on results from confirmatory trials.
